Moooom, msbelle's picking on me!

I was answering what I supposed was your question.

But I do need a break. But not gonna get one.

Not a parent but

Is it a matter of glimpses

this is what happens for me with my friend's kids and my nephew and cousins, mostly. Though I completely didn't recognize a cousin I hadn't seen since he was 14 and now he's mid-30s. But he's gotten buff and stuff.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Thanks, Jesse. It's not life threatening, right now. But....He was so strong and so athletic and seeing him not be able to do these things just breaks my heart. I know that grandparents get old, but dammit, I don't have to like it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Healthma to your grandfather, Aimee.

I've been watching the Bones pilot, and it's not good. Just not.

When is/was it on?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

He was so strong and so athletic and seeing him not be able to do these things just breaks my heart. I know that grandparents get old, but dammit, I don't have to like it.

I hear you. Stupid lack of immortality!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Oh, look. Cheese dipped in magic Zankou garlic goo.

Behold the power of crack.

Hey ita, will you please bring that over to our place right now? In change I will give you grilled flank steak.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I felt the same way when my grandma developed CHF, but for what it's worth, she lived for a long time after that. You and your whole family have all my sympathies, and my wishes for strength.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

lotsa health~ma, Aimee.

The dog was stuck under the bed again when I got home. I bought the bed lift things. They fit posts up to 3". My bed has legs that are 4" square. The dog continues to suffer. Or will tomorrow, probably. Right now he's contentedly sprawled on the carpet in front of the TV.
